It is my pleasure to announce BronyCraft 2! I hope that everyone here has been practicing hard during the downtime, and will be ready to kick some major flank! Once again, its time for the TL Bronies to put their micro skills to the test against one another, but this time, the stakes are even higher than before!

IMPORTANT INFO EDIT: This is a NA ONLY TOURNAMENT, however, if you are EU and want to sign up, we are trying to round up Guest Passes/Accounts for our EU brethren to have a chance to compete should they desire. If you would like to sign up and only have an EU account: Please be sure to add IN BOLD that you are EU and would like a pass. We are working on getting as many as possible, but there are no guarantees!

Who: Team Liquid Bronies... and more? After a day or two, I will be submitting this thread and hype video to Equestria Daily (www.equestriadaily.com) asking for a news spotlight post asking for any and all Brony fans to join up! I am giving the TL Bronies a few days head start to sign up, because you guys are all awesome and I want as many of you in the tournament as possible! This tournament is an open tournament of all skill levels - from bronze up to masters - come one, come all to enjoy an afternoon of the game we all love to play, Starcraft 2!

What: As before, this will be a single elimination tournament, only with a cap of 64 players this time around! Each round will have a specific map to start, with later games within that round being loser picks the next map. The Best of X and starting maps according to round are as follows:

For every round past the first, each player can pick one map they wish to veto, excluding the starting map.

When: Saturday Feb 4th: 10 PM CET 4 PM EST 1 PM PST

Where: The fields of battle shall take place upon the one and only Battle.Net NA style! Streaming will be done from my stream at www.twitch.tv/Bio_HoN (yeah yeah, I know... HoN) so even if you don't feel like playing, you can still tune in to watch Brony V. Brony Starcraft action! Casting will be done by myself, and possibly some guest/not so guest casters as well!

Why: Well, the first one was ok, so I figured, again, why not?

The Title of Iron Pony, won in the last tournament by Whitewing, is now being contested! Compete for bragging rights once again! Possibly get shipped with the other player in the finals! WHO KNOWS?

Also, because of the IMMENSE amount of troll that happened in the last tournament involving a prize, I sent the Godfather after Stardragon and he agreed to ACTUALLY put up a prize this time! Cane as well decided to pitch in, since the TL Mare-A-Thon 2 had some problems and wasn't able to send out its prizes, we now have SWAG to win!

Edit: Due to a VERY generous donation, we are able to offer even more in terms of prizes! Updated prize pool is as follows!

1st Place: 1 Shirt of your choice from We Love Fine or Redbubble (depending upon where you live) AND 1 Poster from Redbubble!2nd Place: 1 Shirt of your choice from We Love Fine or Redbubble (depending upon where you live)3rd Place: 1 Shirt of your choice from We Love Fine or Redbubble (depending upon where you live)

Come and show off your Macro and Micro for a chance to win these fabulous prizes!

Most importantly, I hope that you all enjoy yourselves, the first BronyCraft was incredible fun, and I hope that this second outing proves to me more of the same!

As much fun as it would be to try and dissect your post and figure out why you say that, I will have to ask you and any other people who want to come into this thread and "Discuss" our fandom to please wait until after signups for the tournament. I am going to be super busy to try and convince you we aren't all strange! =D

I will certainly participate. Coincidentally, since the beta map tourney that was not a bronycraft was scheduled the same date, I will simply postpone it to another time for ponies to have fun with the beta maps! Anyhow, TIME FOR BRONYCRAFT 2!
